IanaVelez

NY YOGA + Life™ Magazine

Having worked internationally as an Art Director in Los Angeles, Sydney, and New York, Iana is now expanding from tv/film to print. Joining the Yoga Magazine team as editor for NY Yoga + Life Magazine is a dream come true allowing her to combine her all her favorite things in life: yoga, creativity and her hometown of NYC.
I ana was born and raised in NYC. She was introduced to yoga in 2006, during a highly emotional time in her life by her mom who knew it would help with the depression and anxiety she was experiencing at the time. It was definitely not love at first practice.... but over time she noticed those one hour yoga classes once a week was the one time she could really focus and block out the mind chatter. From that point on, she was hooked.
Iana is eager to showcase the unique lifestyle for those living consciously in NYC and throughout the entire state of New York.
